Muman.. I hear terrible people ALL DAY LONG saying that Jews dont LOVE HaShem. (anti-semitic PIGS) LIES LIES LIES.
There are NO people in this world- ANYWHERE that love the WORD OF G-D LIKE THIS- NOWHERE. I am not on some superiority trip here people. It is just the TRUTH.
TO PHYSICALLY SHOW YOUR LOVE is almost as a new bride exposes her most beautiful vulnerability.. think of it in a term like that.
It is MIND BOGGLING to me. I was NEVER in love, until about a yr 1/2 ago- so I KNOW what LOVE IS and I now UNDERSTAND.
AsheDina,
I know that you hear these terrible things and it really bothers me. You should not listen to people speaking evil of Jews. I know that you are fighting the good fight and that in order to fight you must listen to this, but it really is not good for your soul at all. I have told this to another of my good friends that in order to win the fight we must strengthen our emmunah {trust/faith} and in doing so we strengthen the emmunah of those around us. This is one of the central ideas which Breslev Rabbis teach and I really believe this to be so.
These pictures strengthen our faith and trust in Hashem and his beloved people Israel. I especially love the pictures of the young men during their Bar Mitzvahs at the Holy Western Wall. The kevannah {intention} which must be in each yiddishe cup while strapped with tefillin! Imagine the closeness to Hashem in their souls, and it leaps to our souls.
The antisemites of the world are living in a world of hate. That world will not endure because hate is blinding and Torah is enlightening.
I hope that you are feeling better today. It has been rainy and dark all last week but just today the sun is shining and I look forward to leaving the house. May Hashem illuminate your soul today.
